"... soft robotics can go much further than where we are now." Scientists invent robot made from pig parts that could change ...

A joint research team has successfully developed a next-generation soft robot based on liquid. The research was published in ...

Engineers at MIT have devised an ingenious new way to produce artificial muscles for soft robots that can flex in more than ...

Now, a research team led by scientists from UC Santa Barbara and TU Dresden has developed a material-like robot collective that behaves like a smart material, capable of changing shape and ...

In a major breakthrough, a team of researchers led by Matthew Devlin from UC Santa Barbara has developed small robots that can work in unison to change their shape and transition between solid and ...

However, beyond the uses that designers and engineers intend, robots shape how our shared spaces feel – although very little is known about their impact and effects on public space, or the appropriate ...

Researchers have developed small robots that can work together as a collective that changes shape and even shifts between solid and “fluid-like” states — a concept that should be familiar to ...

As a collective, the robots behaved like a material that could change shape and switch between solid and liquid states, just like the T-1000. The T-1000 was a marvel to behold, but the movie gave ...

A robot that changes shape to move like animals? This design can drive, roll, and swim, using less energy and adapting to any terrain. The morphing Good Over All Terrains (GOAT) robot in sphere mode.

In a nutshell: Researchers have developed minuscule robots that can "assemble" and behave like a collective, building new shapes and tools. Inspired by nature, the team identified and developed ...

Inspired by embryos, these disk-shaped robots use magnets, motors, and light to shift between rigid and fluid states. The result? A self-healing, shape-shifting system that could change how we build ...
